Going Outside the Litterbox
Cats usually prefer using litter boxes, so defecating outside the box can indicate a problem. This could be due to the box’s location, the type of litter used, or a preference for a cleaner box. Sometimes, it signals a medical issue like a urinary tract infection, behavioral issues related to territory, or a lack of mental/physical stimulation.
Consulting a veterinarian can help identify and address any underlying health issues. Understanding and addressing these factors can help ensure that cats use their litter boxes appropriately, maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for both the cat and its owners.
